Vincent X. Kirsch
Vincent X. Kirsch is an award-winning author and illustrator working in Pasadena, California. He got his lucky break in picture books when a children’s book editor noticed his illustration style in The New York Times Book Review and thought it a perfect match for children’s books. Vincent’s work is influenced by his fascination with theater, puppetry, poster art, classical painting techniques and Hollywood films. His whimsical stories and characters range from the fantastically out-of-this-world to inspiringly down-to-earth. He has been a popular guest lecturer in classrooms, colleges, museums, and on podcasts, sharing what he has learned about writing, illustrating, life, and everything in between. He is writing chapter books, screenplays, television scripts, stage plays and musicals.
Vincent brings a very unique and compelling sensibility to books for the young and young-at-heart.
